Guest Bio
Stephanie Jones is a creative graphic, 3D and interior designer, content creator, child of God, mother to four children and wife to Justin Jones with whom she currently owns and runs a Home Building and Remodeling business.
Stephanie Jones grew up in Longwood, Florida and went to Flagler College in St. Augustine. This journey took her to eventually work as a graphic and 3D designer at ION Television, which was her introduction to the film world of green screens, actors, producers, etc.
During this time, her [first] marriage ended, which left Stephanie very broken. It was during this difficult time she learned to cling to God and His comfort. About a year later, as she attended her church group, Stephanie met Justin who also came from a similar broken relationship with two children of his own. It became clear to both of them that God had brought the two of them together to begin a new chapter of renewal.
Shortly after Stephanie and Justin were married, Stephanie felt the Lord leading her to quit ION to work in some sort of ministry. She didn’t know what, exactly, but she knew quitting was going to be the first step. To her surprise, almost immediately after quitting she found out she was pregnant which lead to back-to-back pregnancies.
Along the journey of forming a family, Justin, who is heavily involved in construction, decided to flip a home and have Stephanie help with the project. This turned out to be a big success and so they decided to do more. It was then that it clicked for Stephanie, that this new adventure of flipping and building homes was (one of) the ministries God was leading her to do. Stephanie saw each of these torn down homes renewed and restored as a parallel to her own story–once broken, but resurrected back to life through the caring, intimate love of Jesus Christ.
Through this new mission and story, Justin and Stephanie created a YouTube show called “Busted Cribs” that brought this same message to others, reminding each and every person that there is always hope found in the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ who can restore and build over and over again.
It is Stephanie’s desire to present this hope to women and families in multiple ways, such as through content she makes online, metaphors she provides through her business with her husband, sharing honest and true stories of overcoming hardships with the help of God, and blessing her clients with compassion. A common practice is that each home, underneath the drywall, are hand-written verses from Stephanie as she and Justin pray over each family that will live inside the home they are restoring and building.
